    Distributor Replacement

    1. Disconnect negative battery terminal, after recording radio code.
    2. Mark distributor housing and bracket, for timing to be fairly close later.
    3. Remove three hex head machine screws, securing distributor cap to housing, using an 8 mm nut driver.
    4. Move distributor cap and wires off to the side.
    5. Remove machine screw securing rotor to shaft, using #2 Phillips head screwdriver, and leak cover. It may be necessary to "hit" the starter once or twice, in order to rotate rotor for access to mounting screw.
    6. Disconnect 2-P and 8-P electrical connectors from tower. The trick to separating these connectors is to squeeze the connector's mounting release first and remove from mount. It helps to use a small flashlight. Then, the connector will separate--do not force.
    7. Remove three 12 mm bolts securing distributor housing to engine.
    8. Remove old distributor, place on table, and remove coil, igniter, and cap seal.
    9. Install old igniter, coil, leak cover, cap seal, and rotor in new distributor. Ensure female igniter terminals fit snugly--crimp with pliers, if necessary.
    10. Coat O-ring with engine oil.
    11. Install distributor, align timing marks on housing and bracket, and button up.
    12. Read Sections C and D, to precisely set idle speed and ignition timing.

    Note: Due to the ingenious offset shaft, there's no way you can install the distributor incorrectly.

OK I have a 94 prelude I just put a 91 accord motor in but I used the prelude wiring harness (h23 dohc) so it's the samething as a 92 accord harness . The 91 has a internal coil and 92 has external and that's what I need but I was told that I could use the 91 but I would have to leave the coil...
